Is the LED that shows the cable connection to the Internet lit up? If so, you have a problem on your side of the cable modem. Is the CAT5 cable loose at either end (modem or NIC)? Try a new CAT5 cable. Maybe your NIC is crashing. Try a new NIC, both this and the cable are cheap. I don't know how to test the cable modem connector. Hopefully someone on the list will know how to do that.
>Yes, only my desktop is connected to the modem, I do not have a network setup.
